More than ten years ago, a video game known as "Minecraft" was in its beta testing-phase.End-users had many suggestions for Minecraft.
The Mojang team (developers of Minecraft ) used a web platform for suggested changes to the videogame. The website was known as "Get Satisfaction" The GetSatisfaction page for Minecraft as so easy to use that sometimes children posted bug reports for Minecraft. Also, several less tenable thoughts fielded by people of the same mental maturity were quickly filtered out and shot down.
More than ten years ago, there was a system for a major software project which did a good job of floating good ideas to the top and sinking bad ideas to the bottom.
GetSatisfaction used a voting system, and the most popular suggestions were often implemented by Mojang's development team. When the Microsoft corporation bought Minecraft, the Minecraft GetSatisfaction page died, so it is difficult to look at now.
Get Satisfaction allowed beta-testers to prioritize and sort well-written bug-reports, and I personally thought it worked better than git or other alternatives
The python-ideas mailing list is a very cumbersome way to vet changes to the Python interpreter or other aspects of the python language. If the power-that-be would work with GetSatisfaction people to make a copy-cat of the GetSatisfaction page for Minecraft, I think that the python community could then better drive PEPs (Python Enhancement Proposals)
